A to Z of recycling - Clinical waste

Description

We can arrange to collect clinical waste from households. This is a separate collection and will need to be arranged on an individual basis dependant on the needs of the resident. This service is free of charge.

Clinical waste is any waste which consists wholly or partly of:

  • human tissue
  • blood
  • other body fluid
  • drugs
  • other pharmaceutical products
  • swabs or dressings
  • syringes, needles or other sharp instruments

Please note: incontinence pads are not classed as clinical waste.
